linux, wireless...all'opera!

[eraclitus]

E finalmente ho preso il coraggio a due mani e ci ho provato. Dunque ho installato una mdk 9.2 sul portatile con una sk wireless della gigabyte (WLM01). La scheda non viene riconosciuta (e ci mancherebbe!) allora ho provato sia ndiswrapper sia un altro tool per il chipset (anche se su un sito mi dice che è un PRism 2.5 mentre su un altro mi dice che è un Atmel), ma entrambi x funzioanre hanno bisogno dei sorgenti del kernel.
Ma io finchè non non mi fermo e allora...via, mi scarico i sorgenti. Risultato: l'archivio tarrato contiene 12000 files e il mio buon portatilino (con relativo hardiskino) arrivato al 2millesimo va (comprensibilmente) in stallo.

Quindi, arrivato a questo punto.. che faccio? Se provassi una mdk 10 cambierebbe qualcosa (magari il kernel nuovo ha più duttilità quanto a periferiche wireless)?

Se ti servono i sorgenti del kernel puoi installare _solo_ il pacchetto kernel-source per la Mandrake 9.2 (lo scarichi dai loro mirror ftp). A meno che non vuoi ricompilarti tutto il kernel

Cmq se è una prism forse è supportata dal driver orinoco, già presente nella mdk. Se la scheda è pcmcia il driver è orinoco_cs.

[eraclitus]

Ok, provo subito l'orinoco_cs. Poi mi cerco il pacchetto che mi hai detto...

[eraclitus]

Dunque la situazione è la seguente:
se provo ad installare la sk col driver orinoco_cs posso scegliere se fargli rilevare le impostazioni in automatico (e in quel caso mi chiede se voglio configurare altre schede, ma anche se gli rispondo di no mi riporta alla schermata iniziale di configurazione) oppure se voglio specificare io tali impostazioni, ma in questo caso mi chiede di inserire alcuni parametri (roba tipo irq_mask etc...) che non so dove andare a reperire.

[ilsensine]

Sperabilmente, non devi indicare nessun io/irq.
Prova direttamente con modprobe orinoco_cs, e controlla cosa dice il kernel (dmesg).

[eraclitus]

Fatto. Risultato: niente, cioè non mi appare nessun messaggio... e la sk non viene vista ovviamente

[ilsensine]

Neanche spulciando tra i messaggi mostrati da dmesg trovi niente?

[eraclitus]

Questo è il risultato di dmesg.
